THE SURROGATE JOURNEY: BIRTHING PURPOSE THROUGH OTHERS.  PART 3: THE WEIGHT OF THE WOMB — WHEN CARRYING GETS COMPLICATED Genesis 16:5–6 Then Sarai said to Abram, ‘You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me.’ Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.” (NIV) 🔁 Quick Recap: In Part 2 , we met Hagar, the Egyptian servant chosen by Sarai to carry her child. Though not her dream, not her plan, and not her baby—she became the carrier of a promise she didn’t initiate. We learned how sometimes we are called to be the “other woman” in someone else’s destiny story—carrying, serving, interceding, and pushing someone else’s dream forward. 🤰 The Blessing that Brought Bitterness Hagar became pregnant. She was carrying the long-awaited seed. She should have been celebrated. But instead… she was mistreated. The one who chose her now chased her. The one who needed her now neglected her. The woman...

JUMPSTARTING YOUR LIFE—THE POWER OF DIVINE CONNECTIONS PART 10:SUSTAINING THE BLESSING - KEEPING THE FIRE BURNING

 STORY CONTINUATION: A LESSON IN MAINTENANCE. 


Romans 1:11-12 (NIV)

"I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.


Welcome to Part 10 - the final lap of our series, Jumpstarting Your Life: The Power of Divine Connection.

In part 9, we saw how delays can be divine setups for greater things, leading us to help others or receive unexpected blessings.

Part 10: Sustaining the Blessing – Keeping the Fire Burning

Receiving a jumpstart is great, but if the battery isn’t maintained, the car will stall again. The same applies to life—breakthroughs require maintenance.

Story Continuation: A Lesson in Maintenance

After the rain cleared, my neighbor’s car finally started, thanks to the help he received. But a week later, he faced the same issue. He assumed everything was fine after the first fix and never checked his battery’s condition. Had he maintained it properly, he wouldn’t have been stranded again.

Many people receive breakthroughs but fail to maintain them—spiritually, physically, financially, or relationally.


Key Lessons on Sustaining Your Breakthrough

1. Stay Connected to the Right Source

Just as a battery needs regular charging, we need consistent prayer, wisdom, and accountability to keep growing. A divine connection should not be seasonal but a lifestyle.

2. Invest in Growth

Your car won't last long if you neglect its maintenance. Likewise, invest in personal growth—read, learn, develop skills, and nurture relationships.

3. Avoid Complacency

Many people relax after a breakthrough, only to find themselves back in struggle. Keep pushing forward—“Be not weary in well-doing…” Galatians 6:9

God doesn’t just want to jumpstart your life; He wants you to keep running powerfully. The connections He brings your way are not just for the moment but to help you sustain a victorious life.


REFLECTION 

Have you ever received a breakthrough but struggled to maintain it?

What daily steps can you take to sustain your spiritual, financial, or personal growth?


PRAYER 

Father, thank You for every divine connection that has propelled me forward. Help me not only to receive breakthroughs but to sustain them. Teach me to stay connected to You and to keep growing in every area of my life. Amen.


Every journey needs fuel, maintenance, and the right connections. Are you maintaining your breakthrough?

Your breakthrough is here—keep moving, keep growing, and stay connected!


THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS JOURNEY!

I hope this series has ignited something fresh in you. Keep moving forward, and remember: The power of divine connection can change everything!

This is not the end—it’s a new beginning! Keep fueling your journey and never stop growing.

Thank you 🤝

THE STORY: A FRIEND FACED WITH A HARD DECISION Romans 1:11-12 (NIV) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Welcome to Part 8 of our Series, Jumpstarting Your Life: The Power of Divine Connection.  In Part 7 , we saw how my landlady’s son, who had once been stranded, later became a helper to another driver stuck in the mud . We learned that helping others after receiving help is a key principle of life , and sometimes, we must recognize when we need assistance instead of struggling alone. But what if the real issue isn’t about getting help but knowing when to move on? PART 8: WHEN IT’S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE—LETTING GO OF THE OLD TO EMBRACE THE NEW THE STORY: A FRIEND FACED WITH A HARD DECISION I have a friend named Kwame who had been driving an old car for years . It wasn’t just any car—it had been his first car, filled with memories. One day, after heavy rain, he...

JUMPSTARTING YOUR LIFE—THE POWER OF DIVINE CONNECTIONS PART 1: WHEN LIFE REFUSES TO START

THE STORY: A CAR THAT WOULDN’T START Romans 1:11-12 (NIV ) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith." One early morning, I was in my room when I noticed my landlady’s son struggling with his car. No matter how many times he turned the key, it refused to start. Minutes later, a co-tenant arrived with a car battery, connected it to his, and in seconds— boom ! The engine roared to life. It hit me: Sometimes, we need external help to restart what isn’t working in our lives. HAVE YOU EVER FELT STUCK? Just like that dead battery , life can sometimes feel like it just won’t start: Spiritually – Your passion for prayer and the Word feels drained. (“ Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” – John 15:5) Physically – You’re constantly exhausted, no matter how much you rest. (“Even youths grow weary, but those who wait on the Lord renew their strength.” – Isaiah 40:30-31...

DEALING WITH DIABETIC WOUNDS – A BALANCED DEVOTIONAL SERIES PART 1: RECOGNIZING THE WOUND – THE FIRST STEP To HEALING Revelation 2:4-5 "You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first."  Not every wound bleeds. Some deteriorate quietly beneath the surface—unseen, unfelt, and unspoken—until it's too late . Just like a diabetic wound that looks minor at first but spreads when ignored , many of life's deepest issues— spiritual, emotional, physical, and even national—start small . But delay is dangerous . Healing begins when we are humble and honest enough to recognize the wound. Key Scripture: " You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first." – Revelation 2:4-5 LIFE APPLICATION: Two years ago, a friend called me, asking for blood donation for his father-in-law, who was scheduled for a leg amputation at the 3...
